Pros

Good pay especially stock grants

Cons

upper management has lost their direction and moved away from what made Orkin great, their employees. Success is being propped by acquisitions and not the development of employees. The “pay to play” culture mindset (mortgage broker mindset of the 90’s) is growing which will hurt employee retention and organic growth.

Thank you for your service to the company. We regret that this was your experience of late with the organization. As the Region Manager, we hope your specific feedback was raised through channels at the Division and Brand level, so your concerns and ideas on the development and retention of our employees could reach our senior leaders. We do value our employees greatly and invest in their development at all levels with the support of leaders like you, so it is disappointing to hear this feedback. Best of luck to you in your next opportunity.
